I have just started to notice a rubbing noise (can't tell if from front or back (i think back) after I start up the truck and then make any slow turns under 5 or 6 mph. After a few minutes, the noise does not happen any longer. Any ideas? I know this is vague, but not sure what it is. Thanks.

 

If I were you I would really try to isolate the noise. Does it only do it while moving or can you make it act up while parked. If so get someone to turn the wheel and start walking around the D and find where it is coming from.

 

Ok. Here are more details. This noise only happens when driving under about 10 mph and when turning. After you have been driving for sometime you cannot replicate it. It happens when the brakes are pressed or not. It is like a noise coming from something that is mechanically supposed to be turning and the noise is always the same and consistent. I had my wife drive it in a circle and I can hear it but can never isolate it exactly from the front or back. I have checked the power steering fluid, transmission fluid, brake fluid and the brakes and rotoars and drums have all just been replaced and turned. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to take it up to a garage and waste the money if they can't find it either. Anyway, thanks for any help or ideas.

 

Any ideas? Power Steering pump? But if I cannot replicate it after I have been driving awhile, then could it be the pump still?

 

It's hard to say but I am thinking something like your front or rear diff, it may just be low on oil since the noise goes away after moving and throwing oil all over the gears. Open the filler caps. The gear oil should be about 1/4" below the hole. If it has been 30 months or 30k miles since you changed the oil change it.
